What type of astigmatism is the Front Toric lens specifically used to address?

The Front Toric lens is designed to address minimal corneal astigmatism effectively. These lenses help correct astigmatism by bending light in a way that compensates for the uneven curvature of the cornea. When a patient has minimal astigmatism, typically defined as less than 1 diopter, the use of a Front Toric lens can improve visual acuity without over-correcting or causing distortion, ultimately providing comfort and clarity.

In the context of astigmatism correction, addressing minimal corneal astigmatism ensures that patients experience enhanced vision without the complications that may arise from using toric lenses designed for higher levels of astigmatism. Other options refer to higher degrees of corneal or lenticular astigmatism, which could require different types of toric lenses or more complex solutions than those provided by the Front Toric lens.
